Something of a halfway house for label-troubled rappers, Slaughterhouse brings together four rappers who have been often caught up in red tape. The slick 2009 debut is ample reminder of the deep talents of Joe Budden, Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz (particularly the uniquely drawling Budden). The lines are occasionally silly, but more often they are clever and ear-popping, and they're almost always provocative. Plus, despite the many chefs, the four egos play off each other almost flawlessly. SLAUGHTERHOUSE both stands as a solid record in its own right and a good omen for its four members.
While this supergroup represents three different geographical flavors of hip-hop -- Joe Budden and Joel Ortiz both from the East, Crooked I from the West, and Royce Da 5'9" coming out of Detroit -- their self-titled debut Slaughterhouse brings to mind the fiercest offerings from the N.Y.C. groups Mobb Deep and M.O.P. The album is tough, cold, and relentless to the point that you could call it limited, but unlike the aforementioned duos who act as traditional crews do, Slaughterhouse present their lyrics in a roundtable fashion. These four veteran voices trade lines with old-school open mic hunger, performing in a get-in-get out-and-prove style that comes from years of being underappreciated and mistreated. This means shock value is the thing with "Lyrical Murderers" offering both "Most rappers are comedy gold/They like their boyfriend's sodomy hole" and "I'm ridin' with my daughter in the front/With the AK in the baby's seat." Notice that another boasting track called "Microphone" follows and the redundancy becomes clear, but you wouldn't fault Devin the Dude for putting two weed songs in a row. Slaughterhouse deserve the same forgiveness when it comes to declaring war on the industry, and even if "Cuckoo" shouts "I don't need a hook for this one", tracks like the Bacardi-swingin' "Not Tonight" or the guitar rockin' "The One" show they can create radio worthy monsters without the major-label sellout. Well-chosen guests like Fatman Scoop and Pharoahe Monch increase the thug appeal while earthshaking productions from the Alchemist, DJ Khalil, and Mr. Porter seal the deal. ~ David JeffriesSpin (p.86) - "[T]he single 'The One,' which emits a stanky, rock-starry panache, could be an edgy crossover hit..."
XXL (Magazine Publisher) (p.124) - "The LP opens with `Sound Off,' where each member verbally attacks with a dizzying array of one-liners."

5 stars Real hip hop is back
Turn off the radio. This is what real music is supposed to sound like. First album I've heard in years with real punchlines and quotables. No weak links in this group.

Illa J Yancey Boys CD  (2008)

Slaughterhouse
CD $12.39  4 stars Top 500
The title of rapper/singer Illa J's debut album refers to the man himself along with his older brother J Dilla, aka Jay Dee, the game-changing hip-hop producer from Detroit who passed away in 2006 at the age of 32. The beats on Yancey Boys are "all previously untouched Jay Dee gems" that were given to Illa J by Delicious Vinyl's founder, Michael Ross. Safe to say, the younger Yancey's first encounter with these tracks had to bring a heavy set of emotions, but with everything here being immediately recognizable as Dilla, the end result for the longtime fan is still one of ghosts and bittersweet memories. Nocturnal keyboards, elegant pianos, lazy beats, and the occasional Kraftwerk-like twist all combine to make warm soul music, but save the D'Angelo-like ...

Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II CD  (2009)

Slaughterhouse
CD $11.29  4.7 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Like the original, ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX, PART 2 sets the stage with the intro, but here, it's some Raekwon history courtesy of Papa Wu. On Part 1 it was fictional dialog introducing a loose concept album. Besides the introductory dialog and the album's look-a-like cover--tinted purple, as if it was a Cash Money, Screwed & Chopped mix of Part 1--the only traits this sequel shares with the original LINX is that it's the Wu-rapper in top form, spitting out rhymes worthy of the Wu logo and pushing his guest list to work harder, as evidenced by Ghostface, Jadakiss, and Cappadonna all sounding at the top of their game. The productions are equally magnificent with Pete Rock, the Alchemist, and even Dr. Dre all living up to their lofty reputations. Inspectah Deck and the Wu's secret weapon Mathematics out RZA the RZA on their 36 CHAMBERS-flavored cuts--the awesome "House of Flying Daggers" and "Mean Streets," respectively--but if it's possible to create a poignant beat track, it has to be the soulful loop on "Ason Jones," a tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard made all the more moving when you notice the beat comes from the late J. Dilla. ...

Royce Da 59 Street Hop CD  (2009)

Slaughterhouse
CD $11.49  Top 100 Audio Samples
In pre-release interviews, Royce da 5'9" laid out a perfect description of his style: a Detroit kid brought up on Nas whose head was sent spinning once Eminem came around. Three years in the making--twelve months in prison for a DUI being part of the problem--STREET HOP often has a solid foundation that's absolutely classic in feel but also features those quirky, sick-o rhymes that are distinctly post-Shady. "I mix a between Chris Brown and Chris Jericho/Where's your daughter?" is an unsettling bit from the freaky track "Street Hop 2010" which goes on to reference Marlon Brando's Apache friend picking up his Oscar right before rattling off some psycho-babble about "syphilis nun chucks" and other bizarre whatnot. Hard to believe the convincing R&B stunner "Thing for Your Girlfriend" could follow with all its radio-friendly polish while elsewhere "New Money" brings reminders of Roc-A-Fella's heyday with its bright and grand Streetrunner production. ...

Kristinia Debarge Exposed CD  (2009)

Slaughterhouse
CD $9.09  5 stars
James DeBarge's daughter makes her debut on this impressive collection of sparkling R&B-pop numbers. Her vocal skills are strong, and her emoting is convincing, both of which lend her a maturity beyond her years (19 at the time of release). DeBarge is equally adept at power ballads ("Died In Your Eyes") and uptempo dance tracks ("Somebody").
Kristinia DeBarge, daughter of DeBarge group member James DeBarge, failed to make the Top Ten round of AMERICAN JUNIORS' first (and final) season. That was no obstacle for the aspiring performer. The show did not catapult any of its finalists to fame on the level of AMERICAN IDOL's Kelly Clarkson (or Diana DeGarmo, for that matter), and the early exit allowed DeBarge to be spared from performing a song titled "Cheeseburgers for Me." Six years after appearing on AJ, DeBarge debuts with EXPOSED, the first release on Babyface's Island-funded Soda Pop label. Babyface is clearly behind her; he has a hand in five of the album's eleven songs, and their makeup befits a label called Soda Pop--mostly youthful and energized pop-R&B, not the brand of relaxed, acoustic guitar-driven adult contemporary R&B from which Babyface has rarely strayed the last several years. When DeBarge works with others, like the Jam (a production duo, not the punk trio), the Pentagon (a five-member team, not the building), and Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic), the results are similar. Through and through, EXPOSED is an album directed at older 'tweens and teens, and it does tend to act its age, never presenting DeBarge ...
